However, they didn't expect that they met two people in the corridor of the castle not long after they ran. They were the same two people that Kirihara met at the beginning. The arrogant smiles on their faces directly angered Kirihara. It's almost like all the new and old grudges are going to be settled together.
Originally, Zizu wanted to form a doubles team with Kirihara, but Sanada stepped forward and took out the racket before him.
"Zizu, leave this to me and Kirihara. I will defeat them thoroughly with Kirihara."
It has been a long time since Zizhou has looked at Sanada so seriously. He often wears a hat. Although he is a junior high school student, he looks mature. It is said that he and Tezuka-kun beside him are the "dean duo".
The resolute cheeks make people feel something called trust. Sanada is very strong, although a little old-fashioned sometimes, but Sanada is really good to Kirihara. Kirihara may know that Sanada will not really do anything to him, so he dares to provoke Sanada often.
Maybe Sanada is still frightened by the last danger. This is a mental demon, and Kirihara needs to defeat his opponent himself to truly grow. Maybe it is more suitable for him to leave it to Sanada.
"Okay, then we must. It's better to be careful. Sanada, Akaya, we will wait for your triumphant return."
Zizhou looked at Sanada and Kirihara seriously, and after speaking, he and Atobe and the others headed towards the center of the castle.
"Ah, I thought you would be with them."
On the way, Atobe asked curiously. Zizhou was not surprised either. After all, compared to them, Echizen was indeed not as familiar with him as they were. However, he was also worried about Echizen's safety. It was not because of the mission, but because everyone's life in this world was extremely precious. He knew Echizen and would help him to the best of his ability, so he would not stand idly by.
From his point of view, Echizen's dedication to his friends is righteousness, Echizen's gratitude is courtesy, and Echizen's love of fighting is courage. Apart from some minor shortcomings, Zizhou can be said to like him very much. As the protagonist, these are also must-haves.
"I understand what you mean, Atobe-kun. I just want to help rescue Echizen. Besides, that's where Sanada and Kirihara will perform. I really want to see them shine, but there are more important things for us to do."
"Sawara-kun always thinks more thoroughly, but why have I never seen Sahara-kun play before?" Shiraishi's question was not uncommon. He was affiliated with Kansai Osaka, and usually he would only get to know people from Kanto at national competitions. However, he really hadn't seen him in the past two years. With Zizhou's strength, it was impossible for him not to know him.
Tezuka and Atobe knew some of the circumstances, but since the people involved had not said anything, it was impossible for them to expose other people's scars.
"Well, I'll tell you after this matter is resolved. Don't get your hopes up. I'm not shutting myself up in Moriyama to practice basketball."
There wasn't a hint of displeasure in Zizhou's tone; instead, he felt it was quite normal.
Finally, after walking down the stone steps, a tennis court appeared. Standing opposite was a man who had obviously been waiting here for a long time. Did he really have to pass the level and defeat the BOS?
Atobe was really angry. This was his castle. Although few people lived there and he almost forgot about it, this was no reason for these people to occupy his castle.
"It seems like it's time for me to make a move." "
At Atobe's signal, Zizu left with Tezuka Shiraishi and the others. Just as he had said just now, this was his stage and no one could interfere.
Not long after running out, Tezuka and Shiraishi fought two more people. At Tezuka's instructions, Zizhou ran towards the center of the castle alone.
But Zizhou just couldn't understand why Tezuka designed the castle like this. It felt like a prison, with iron bars everywhere, and the dim lighting was really scary.
Echizen is like a princess captured by a dragon. They are warriors, determined to win. They break through numerous obstacles and rush to the dragon's lair to rescue the princess.
If he wasn't so serious and had a strong ability to endure, he would probably have laughed at his own imagination.
Before he got close, he heard a loud noise. Zizhou couldn't help but worry, thinking that they had already started fighting, so he quickly quickened his pace.
Finally, I saw the door of the hall. As soon as I ran in, I found that the hall could no longer be called a hall. There was an iron fence dividing the hall, and Echizen was standing inside. He seemed to be in a competition, but when I saw the posture of the opponent, I knew that with this move, Echizen would probably be injured.
Sure enough, Echizen had been hit by the ball and his body flew backwards towards the iron railing. The court was also damaged and a deep gully appeared.
Zizhou no longer thought about anything. He threw away his racket, used the protrusion of the iron railing as an excuse to leap forward, tightened his body, and somersaulted over the iron railing at the lowest point of the spikes. Although it was dangerous, he could not care less now.
Fortunately, Zizhou was agile due to his regular exercise, and with his application of Kung Fu techniques, he was able to skillfully cross the iron railing, otherwise most people would have been either dead or injured.
Just when Echizen was about to be hit against the iron bars, he took advantage of the downward trend of his body to grab Echizen's waist and held him in front of him with one hand.
This scene directly shocked the other three people. Because of the strong light, Keith and the purple-haired boy on the opposite side did not see clearly how the other party came over, and Lin Xiu had his back to Zizhou, so he didn't see how Zizhou caught Yue Qian at all.
"Echizen-san, are you feeling okay?" Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? "
Echizen vaguely heard a familiar voice, opened his eyes slightly, and found that he seemed to be in the air?
In the air! ? But when he felt the big hand on his waist, he slowly raised his head and saw Lin Xiu and the two people opposite him, but they were all staring blankly at him.

above? Before he looked up, he heard Zizhou's voice.
"Echizen-san?"
After hearing this, Echizen immediately shook his hands and answered in this posture.
"Sawara-senpai? I'm sorry to have worried you, but I'm fine. Please put me down first."
Zizhou felt relieved when he heard that his voice was not hoarse due to the injury. He loosened his grip on the iron bars with his left hand, adjusted his hugging posture during the fall, and landed safely.
It was the first time for Echizen to be carried like a princess. Even though it was forced by the situation, the experience made him extremely embarrassed.
Fortunately, Zizhou helped Echizen up shortly after landing. After checking the condition of Echizen's hands, he let him go completely.
The purple-haired boy opposite immediately stepped forward and stared at the man who had trespassed into other people's territory. From his skills and Zizhou's appearance, he immediately recognized that he was the person who had disturbed them last night.
"Ha, you actually have the guts to come here. It's really more satisfying to deal with you here. You are here to find this shorty, right? He is so weak that he can't even catch a ball from our big brother Keith. He is so weak."
Zizhou didn't look at the purple-haired boy, but looked at Lin Xiu who brought Yue Qian here.
"Why did you bring Longma here? Do you think you have the strength to protect him? What gives you the confidence!" "
Echizen, who finally came to his senses, hurried forward to explain.
"Senior Sahara, I followed here secretly on my own. I want to defeat that man named Keith. I want to avenge Senior A Tao. I volunteered." Looking at this child who was tugging at the corner of his clothes, he didn't know what to say. Too reckless!
"Damn it, you actually ignored me!" The purple-haired boy was so angry that Zizhou ignored him.
After saying that, he hit Zizhou's head hard with a real tennis ball, but Zizhou did not panic. He moved slightly and the ball passed in front of him. He calmly turned his head and looked at the purple-haired kid who attacked him.
"You are such an impatient boy! Your provocation is too low-level. I have to tell you some very unfortunate news. You are about to be defeated. Do you still want to become a stray dog?" Zizhou smiled viciously, and all the malice in his body kept attacking them.
At this moment, Zizhou no longer suppressed his evil, as if he wanted to release all his previous evil thoughts.
Keith and the others are just teenagers. The worst thing they have ever encountered is injustice on the court, but what Zizhou released is the evil in human nature. It is no longer limited to petty fights, but a malice that goes beyond life and death.
Snap
The purple-haired boy could no longer hold the racket steadily, and as the racket fell, his body gradually slid down. It was so horrible, so disgusting, and so suffocating!
The situation of others is not much better, as if the world is isolated. Darkness, chaos, ugliness, hypocrisy... too many of them seemed to be eroding their brains. Tinnitus had already started and they could no longer control their trembling.
"Sa...Sahara-senpai?" Echizen was not affected by Sahara. Besides the protection of Tiandao, the fact that Zizu was not released to Echizen also made him very surprised about the abnormal behavior of the other three people.
It was as if Zizhou was brought back to his senses in an instant.
"It was almost like that. I didn't expect that I would actually lose control this time. Luckily Echizen stopped me in time, otherwise, they would have been in trouble. Go back and ask Jiao Miguo if there is something wrong with me. 』
"What happened to Sawara-senpai and the others? Why are they in so much pain?" Echizen had a hunch that this was related to Zizu.
"Ah! Sorry, I was distracted for a moment, but don't worry, we'll be fine once they've calmed down."
Zizhou felt no guilt at all, but Echizen was a little worried about Lin Xiu. He went forward to check on Lin Xiu's condition, and was relieved to see that he was gradually coming back to his senses.
"Sawara-senpai, are you here alone?"
Zizhou leaned against the iron railing, shook his index finger, and spoke with a smile.
"No, Tezuka, Atobe, Sanada, and Shiraishi are all here, as well as Fuji-kun. It's just that there are people guarding the checkpoints ahead, and they all have to fight, so for now I'm the only one here."
Hearing this, Echizen was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes, but because of his temperament, he pressed the hat on his head down and spoke in a muffled voice.
"My seniors are really fools." Although he said that, the smile on his face never faded, but instead grew bigger.
Hearing the emotion and happiness in Echizen's tone, Zizhou also echoed his words.
"They are indeed fools. After all, there are not many people like them. You should cherish them."
"Um!"
Zizhou spoke seriously and Echizen listened seriously.
After a while, Lin Xiu and Keith finally recovered, but the purple-haired boy was still a little listless, but the game continued.
As for why Zizhou didn't stop him, it was because Echizen's eyes told him that this was Echizen's own game and this was his stage for growth. He had no reason to stop him and believed that every junior had his own necessary path.
